bump...really need this swype, otherwise the rom is useless to me, is there any solution? :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] IINexusII:
Use the vr framework patch for this rom to fix the laggy browser
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bl@ck:
You can keep KH3 modem, for multilanguage swype install Villain Tweaks, it's an app for this rom where you can find tweaks and addons, there should be a link in the first post.

EDIT: link here > http://www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/VRTweaks/SGS2-v1.3.1.apk
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Neo-ST:
Thanks, I already have that app but there's no option to install swype, just some tweaks regarding circles, low battery camera, etc.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] McCadi:
Dudes. So i updated to the latest 2.4.2 and i calibrated and all that jazz. However check this out...draining while plugged in and web browsing!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mb:
2.1.3 for me (2.1.2 was a real drainer, as acknowledged I think by Hacre).

2% loss overnight. Like having a Nokia 7110 again with that sort of drainage!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] McCadi:
Ok so i reboot and it drops to 17%
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] McCadi:
(notice the drop at the end)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
At that stage did the phone reboot itself? Something may have caused a crash.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] McCadi:
Nope. I rebooted it because it was dropping even when charging. (i was just web browsing)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Shouldn't start the line at 100% if you've done a calibration?

Thanks for the ROM!

Just flashed VR 2.4.2 with the latest Ninphetamine-2.1.3-release and the phone won't automatically catch the data settings of my operator ("Megafon", Russia) like it did on the stock ROM.

Any ideas besides manual entering?

VillainROM doesn't touch your modem... Try flash latest KH3 version via Odin in download mode.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Hi - noobie to villain rom here,

Does this rom include stupid themes and addons?

Or does it just speed up and improve on whats already included?

Im hoping the latter. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
No stupid themes or addons. Provide them yourself if you want them :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] NeoS:
Pulser, just occasionally I've got the problem that the device stays awake with screen off. It seems like it happens when charging or removing the chargeing cable, but not always.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
regarding the stock browser, (i know you already mentioned it in the OP :) ) - but the thing i dont understand is 'why' it lags?

Whats fully deodexed?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Reeby:
Thanks!... but still no luck. Is it safe to flash back CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE2-v4.0-CWM4, which i had before?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Gasparello:
Well, CF-Root is not a modem file... It's a kernel. Search for KH3 modem here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131950

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mellll:
Thank you!

I was about to ask the same thing...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Decided to update my ninph kernel to 2.1.3 from 2.1.0 on Monday afternoon which was fine and dandy. After my overnight charge took it off and the battery went down 5% in the first hour by the time I'd got to work which is abnormal for me as don't use it at all in that time. Anyway by the time I'd finished work with the same use as normal and no app changes etc the battery was down to ~60%, normally 80-85% at this time and by the night before putting back on charge was down to 20% in approx 4 hours so 10% an hour with no further use to preserve battery where normally would be 60-70%.

Decided to give it another charge and after my 30min ride into work and music listening this morning the drain was 5% higher than normal (only 1% usage for 30mins listening normally) so after a couple more hours and heavier battery drain I flashed back to 2.1.0 which I still had on my SD card and the battery immediately resorted to normal expectations not moving for the 2 hours it was in idle which is much more like it.

I'm not normally one to complain with battery problems and this isn't me complaining just wanted to share my findings with the 2.1.3 kernel and this ROM as that was my only change which has immediately resorted back to normal use (for me) after reverting the kernel. I know I could've seen what's causing wakelocks etc with monitoring apps but I've never needed them till now and like to stick to running lean (as few background apps as possible). Also as I made no other changes then kernel and the battery stats screen wasn't showing any real awake periods while screen off, I wanted to see if reverting the kernel back made a difference which it immediately did after a short test so will be sticking to this version for now.

I know a number of people are testing 2.0.4/.5 against the newer versions and I personally feel 2.0.5 and 2.1.0 are on par for battery life for my use of course.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DjLegolas:
you can pull the swype.apk from the app folder and the libswypecore.so from the lib folder of the Litening rom (if you had croatian swype in that rom) and past them over the files in this rom.

i did it with the hebrew version of swype and it did the work.

Dear Villains. Is it possible to have Villain Tweaks include a tweak for showing the signal in the status bar as a DBM value instead of bars? (Like how it is in Cyanogenmod)

I absolutely love VR. I flashed to CM7 and Cog 1.5.1 twice in the last 12 hours to try it out, but WIFI wasn't working on both, and the theme-ing and functionalities on both weren't nearly as good as VR 2.4 + Black Theme. Restored my nandroid backup, and happily back to where I was earlier. I also love it how Pulsar only updates the ROM when the updates are worth it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shil64:
i know this is quite specific and probably not huge amounts of people need this, but is there any chance that someone could create a tweak to install the orange signal boost app for wifi calling from the stock orange rom? im lucky if i get a just one bar of g reception in my house.

i tried copying libs and apk like suggested in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1208830, but i don't think anyone has got it working yet.

would very much appreciate it if someone could do this, i cant stand the stock orange rom.

You can uninstall the installed swype via TitaniumBackup and install the swype beta from the site. Worked for me.

Sorry, I didn't see this!

I didn't have Cro swype in Litening, I only had it in my original rom that I backed up with clockworkmod.

But that's the KG2 base...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Hi, some n00b questions if you dont mind.

Is there a version with the normal fast stock browser?

I think deodexed means browser broken, odexed means not? (for this rom i mean)

Not a clue what all that means, but is there an odexed villain? :)

And what differences would the 2 versions offer in comparison with each other?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Theres a zip with the fixed browser, somewhere in this thread.

It also may be on VRtweaks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rockin_Zombie:
EDIT: wrong, nevermind
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Battletux:
I've noticed the increased battery drain too with 2.1.3, will be reverting back to the previous version soon. Have gone from having almost 24 hours life with 25% left to barely managing 16 hours before needing a charge. Serves me right for messing when nothing was wrong...

Lol where, ive just gone through all the thread and must have missed it :/

Shouldnt that be on the 1st page?

Also, what is the reason for the laggy browser, what benefits does it give?

Seems all to strange if there is a fixed stock browser to install, makes me wonder why its broke in the release.

So flashing 3+mb file wont slow down the speed of villain rom in any way - just speed up the browser to how it should be?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DjLegolas:
it doesn't matter. i got swype too from my carrier's stock rom (i didn't bought my phone from it) and as your carrier, mine is KG2 base too.

With the 3.1.3 market it is nearly/usually impossible to get things to download from the local market (Vietnam), but using MarketAccess to switch to the US market and/or downgrading the market (2.3.6), it works more often.

Here's JKay's v8.2 mod + EDT tweak + custom date + many tweaks

to VR2.4. See here.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Hey pulser;

The vrtweaks i downloaded only had a few pulsar (is it an old version?), i couldnt find things like the extra menu (reboot-recovery-download etc) - and a few other things that i see others using.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Cool, but dont think i want all them on - is there anyone who can add the missing ones to the VRTweaks app? (that app is Very Good!)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
They're not mandatory to use, it just contains them then using the mentioned apk's in the post you customise what you want.

As for VRTweaks it only contains the ones that have been modified for 2.4.2 so far it's not an old version. Advanced Power Menu is available in Kahvitahra's thread if you just want that, just follow his link then go to the first post of that thread and you'll see. This ROM is all about learning so you just go find the tweaks you want and then add them, with an end result of self satisfaction :D

EDIT: Oh and there's no list of all working tweaks just make sure they're KG6 Deodexed compatible or part odexed if you've used the odex patch.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DjLegolas:
no, you will get it.

basically there are 2 ways to pull swype.

the simplest way is:

1. preform a nandroid backup.

2. flash your carrier's rom.

3. using root explorer, copy both the swype.apk file from the /system/app folder and the libswypecore.so from the /system/lib folder to the phone's memory.

4. restore the backup you just did.

5. copy the swype files from step 3, and past them instead of the files that came with this rom.

6. reboot the phone and enjoy Croatian swype.

please tell me if it helps.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kin24173493:
just that simple? no need to install? sorry i am noob.:(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kin24173493:
i use root explorer to put the apk file into /system/app. then i reboot the phone but the calendar is still missing:(. any steps i missed?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] swatsbiz:
that's adb push command, or you can cut and paste it with a root file manager
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] desean:
I guess the permission is wrong so it is not appearing. Make sure the apk permission is the same as the rest in /system/app
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sounds like permissions or signatures.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I beg to differ. I have used newer builds and they are ten times better than old ones. But you are not really answering the question i have asked.. You see many roms even cognition being updated all the time..Yeah some take few weeks but this one has been over a month...Only going by what i have read on other threads but could it be cause he has no more ideas on how to update it and had to get Neo's ideas to update this one? I am only going by what the other thread i read.

I heard good stuff about VR and im probably one of many people who would like to see what he can provide next. I might not earn alot of money and cant donate as much as i would like to these guys because of all the hard work they put in but if i can see something thats worth donating from VR then i will
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
What specifically has changed though that makes update so necessary? Just wondering...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lambstone:
Battery drain is caused by the bln enabled kernel
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
You my friend have missed the point.

Its not about donations, the one main reason this ROM has not been updated is because THE DEVELOPER doesn't see the advantage.

And i honestly feels he knows more than you, but id be willing to be proven wrong, so please provide your evidence for the new builds being 10x better, im genuinely curious.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Going of topic, but i really think that some people have really wrong idea about donations here at xda. Donation is gift. You dont "buy" any work with it and you can't request anything even thought you had donated 100$.

And to those newer roms. I used all of them and there isn't really nothing different than version number. Modems are totally different thing. I had best result with kh3 modem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] donchen:
Searched for his mod here but turn up with no results. Suggestions ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Yes read the post above yours kahvitahra has the link in his sig.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
For the guy asking about new builds this isn't the ROM for you as Pulser isn't a number junky as your acclaimed Neo. From earlier posts of his in threads I've posted in he talks absolute rubbish and tries picking fights with Mods and Devs to try make himself feel better so wouldn't even bother with his ROM but that's just me. There's a reason his work isn't original which is detailed perfectly by Hacre in its own thread. I'd ignore what he says he's not got a clue, Pulser hasn't stole anything from anyone.

I have tried a few ROMs too and I beg to differ your opinion. Please enlighten us on the new builds being 10x better because that might help make a case so the chef can reconsider updating the current ROM. I personally would love to try something that is 10x better because I think might phone is pretty amazing now and I can only dream for something 10x better.

So please tell us about the 10x better ROMs and the reason why you feel they are so much better.

Agreed, I have tried various modems too. I was on KH3 for while now but I just recently went back KG6 and I think that modem might be best for my area.
